Best Recipe for Bacon Jack and Jalapeno Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 1 ripe Hass avocado, halved, seeded and peeled
- 1 small tomato, diced
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- Salt, to taste
- 4 strips turkey bacon (about 3 ounces)
- 6 scallions,(white and green parts) thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 3 (8-inch) multi-grain tortillas
- 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey jack cheese
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream, optional
- Cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- Guacamole: Coarsely mash the avocado in a large bowl. Add the tomato, scallions, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, and garlic until blended. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- Quesadillas: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Lightly spray a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain. Crumble and set aside.
- To the same skillet, add the scallions, jalapeno, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Cook, stirring often, over medium heat, until the scallions are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Place the tortillas on the baking sheet; sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese, 1/3 of the scallion mixture, and 1/3 of the bacon over half of each tortilla. Fold the unfilled half of each tortilla over the filling. Lightly spray the quesadillas with cooking spray. Bake until lightly browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve with the guacamole and sour cream, if using. Garnish with cilantro.
